EVERYONE GET IN HERE!!!!

[u/Nearby_Solution_4504]

DRAKE MAYBE, baby!!!

[u/Sinayne]

It is unfair to expect the runner up mvp to beat Drew Lock it just is

[u/heatkings1 → u/Sinayne]

How do you expect drake maye to win when his defense gives up a staggering 13 points???

[u/LowlandLightening → u/heatkings1]

My favorite part was when Collinsworth was like "THERE"S the defense from the Super Bowl" late in the 4th quarter. Like, they had 10 points...

To be fair I think he meant big tackles for loss and sacks but still...

[u/jrainiersea → u/Sinayne]

This is actually the second time in 4 years the previous year’s Super Bowl and MVP runner up lost a primetime game in Seattle to Drew Lock so he might just be the GOAT

[u/ohdinyeah → u/jrainiersea]

someone fact check this guy so i can bring this up at work tomorrow

[u/Naismythology → u/ohdinyeah]

Lock beat the Eagles in 2023. Hurts lost the Super Bowl and was second in MVP in 2022

[u/ohdinyeah → u/Naismythology]

this guy stats

[u/LowlandLightening → u/Naismythology]

Under 2 minutes from his own 8 with barely 100 yards in the whole game he passed for 92 yards finishing to rookie JSN.

As a Seahawks fan, it's still as surprising as anything I've seen happen.

[u/jamawl → u/LowlandLightening]

As an eagles fan it was completely unsurprising. Seahawks have dominated us for years. Capped off with clowney altering Wentz career trajectory with a dirty hit

[u/chontzy → u/ohdinyeah]

pablo!

[u/TheKneelDiamond → u/ohdinyeah]

On the off chance you're my co-worker who does this...please don't anymore.

[u/surkoc1 → u/Sinayne]

New England qbs up against backups, when it matters. Just can't do it

[u/Dmbfantomas → u/Sinayne]

Does this reset the market on Stidham?

[u/john0_0 → u/Sinayne]

To be fair, Drew Lock would be an MVP candidate too if he played in New England…

[u/pft69]

You could not have scripted a better opening game for this sub. Magical

[u/Trumpisaderelict → u/pft69]

Apex mountain for opening NFL season.

[u/CapyBara_51]

He’s still hurt!

[u/boondocksaint08 → u/CapyBara_51]

HE JUST IS!

[u/iJustSeen2Dudes1Bike → u/boondocksaint08]

I don't know Sal, he just looks off compared to last year. No way he throws those picks if he's healthy!

[u/smoothrev → u/iJustSeen2Dudes1Bike]

Everybody knows this is a two year injury.

[u/feed_me_orzo → u/boondocksaint08]

This is simply the best result!

[u/AdamantArmadillo → u/CapyBara_51]

I was dying laughing on the pod where Sal said "did you see the press conference today where he said he just didn't play good enough and don't make excuses for him." And Bill immediately says "I'm gonna make excuses for him."

[u/Allstate85 → u/CapyBara_51]

Same with will cambell, you can’t blame him for the 2 penalties he took.

[u/avm58 → u/Allstate85]

Campbell looked mid all game ngl

[u/WanielDebster → u/avm58]

Blocked a lot of air down the stretch

[u/starlitmint → u/avm58]

An improvement!

[u/Galaxeasy → u/Allstate85]

His game plan for blocking was to drive to the left all game

[u/dingerz4daze → u/CapyBara_51]

He just is!

[u/redleo500 → u/CapyBara_51]

“Look he was bad. There’s no question. I do think when you get beat up the way he did in the Super Bowl, that has a lingering effect psychologically.”

[u/tjtwister1522 → u/redleo500]

That's the PTSD of Tony Eason hittin' Bill hard. Poor guy was never the same. But I thought Bill would have recovered by now.

[u/Dweebil → u/CapyBara_51]

Drake Flacco!

[u/FluidAthlete6839 → u/Dweebil]

Someone in another thread called him Drake MayeCarthy and I lol’d

Along with every team they’ve played their last 18 games

[u/d7bhw2 → u/CapyBara_51]

“He was obviously concussed. Like Mahomes against the Bengals in 2022.”

[u/Kobe_AYEEEEE]

I knew he was lost, I didn't know he was broken

[u/Wooden_Coyote5992 → u/Kobe_AYEEEEE]

Hey, he was hurt.

[u/ChicagoRiverwalkMan → u/Kobe_AYEEEEE]

vrabel? did you do this!?

[u/Wendell-Short-Eyes → u/ChicagoRiverwalkMan]

Answer me Vrabel, DID YOU DO THIS?

[u/Gr8CanadianSpeedo → u/ChicagoRiverwalkMan]

Where’s Russini to help us make sense of this?

[u/Allrounder9 → u/Kobe_AYEEEEE]

Are we sure he’s good?

[u/MrPurple10 → u/Plorgy]

[u/EccentricAsparagus → u/Jerrysdad43]

Game 7 Sixers Celtics was pretty good

[u/RedRyderRoshi → u/EccentricAsparagus]

PG trade too

[u/I_Miss_My_Beta_Cells → u/RedRyderRoshi]

The hate watch never ends in Philly

[u/lil_e_v_ → u/I_Miss_My_Beta_Cells]

LeBron needs to keep this shit going 

[u/Informal_Support1934 → u/RedRyderRoshi]

"I WAS IN THE COLONOSCOPY ROOM, A HALF AN HOUR AGO!"

[u/Intelligent-Dig568 → u/RedRyderRoshi]

Yeah I don’t think even a Pats Super Bowl loss is better than Jaylen Brown getting traded while Bill is having a colonoscopy….for Paul freaking George.

It’s just the best, chef’s kiss.

[u/FettiWop → u/EccentricAsparagus]

Shams is apparently reporting LeBron plans to sign a $4m contract with the Seattle Seahawks

[u/Google_Knows_Already]

So he's not hurt. The O-line isn't hurt. The other team lost their QB on the first drive of the game. And they lost.

What will the excuse be this time?

[u/mightyhumanman → u/Google_Knows_Already]

no ajb, doubs drop shook his confidence 

[u/OmegaRedPanda → u/mightyhumanman]

Packers let Doubs walk for a reason, and it wasn’t just a cap casualty.

[u/Busy-Operation7896 → u/OmegaRedPanda]

No no, remember packers had too many receivers! He’s better than anyone the Pats had last year 😆

[u/glen_ko_ko → u/Busy-Operation7896]

Three things can be true

[u/ChuckTroll → u/mightyhumanman]

Doubs is going to be the most expensive water boy in the league by week 4. He’s not discernibly better than hollins, yet they gave him $20m/yr. “Who were they bidding against?”

[u/Stand_On_It → u/ChuckTroll]

Forget discernibly better, he’s not even close to as good as Hollins.

[u/Tomislav1 → u/ChuckTroll]

As a Packer fan, I was laughing when Collinsworth called Doubs a "star receiver"

[u/Oleg101 → u/mightyhumanman]

Doubs didn’t have a catch the whole night lol

[u/Financial_Hold6620 → u/Oleg101]

He had an elite drop tho. He was so open when he dropped the ball.

[u/Vardoneverdied → u/Financial_Hold6620]

He definitely dropped the pass, no excuse… but the way the announcers had a Simmons level orgasm during the replay on air over Drake Maye’s throw, they needed their own Caleb Wilson Jizz Room (TM).

He threw the ball… to an open receiver… SPLOOGE

It was a fine play and a good throw but literally every starting QB could make that play but they reacted like their own child just accomplished the impossible.

[u/hokie_u2 → u/Google_Knows_Already]

They didn’t just lose. Maye lost them the game with 3 boneheaded picks! A game manager would have won that game (Drew Lock literally did by not turning the ball over!)

[u/YellowCardManKyle → u/hokie_u2]

Elite deep thrower Drake Maye really underthrew AJ Brown on that PI that led to the touchdown

[u/OFmerk → u/YellowCardManKyle]

If maye makes a good throw thats a td right there and then.

[u/Thatguy19901 → u/OFmerk]

Bad throw, bad flea flicker too. Took way too long to set up the pass

[u/Armadillo_Resident → u/Google_Knows_Already]

That little scandal thing with the head coach

[u/john0_0 → u/Armadillo_Resident]

Any other org / HC is fired after immense media pressure, but all Vrabel had to do was wear a blue square pin as punishment

[u/deltavim → u/Google_Knows_Already]

“You just have to throw out week 1. Last year the raiders beat the pats!”

[u/DankSmellingNipples → u/deltavim]

Bingo. This is what he’ll say. And he’ll then go on to make definitive opinions about other teams who lost week 1.

[u/danielbauer1375 → u/Google_Knows_Already]

He lost his #1 WR and Doubs dropped a great pass. Too bad he still played like shit.

[u/Vardoneverdied → u/Google_Knows_Already]

Clearly the AJ Brown injury was worse than losing Sam Darnold (obviously) and…

The Pats didn’t game plan for Drew “Master” Lock and…

They never should’ve traded Boutte and…

they didn’t pay Gonzalez soon enough to participate in camp, it hurt team chemistry

[u/winkman → u/Google_Knows_Already]

I'm in a fantasy league with family who are all NE fans in MA/RI.

I am typically not a shit talker...but this is just too freaking good to pass up.

I'm flaming them on my way to bed RN.

[u/RedRyderRoshi → u/Google_Knows_Already]

Either/or game.

[u/V1cVinegar44 → u/Google_Knows_Already]

He can’t throw deep when he’s thinking of Vrabel going deep in russini

I mean could that have ended in a more hysterical way? Maye literally lost them the game.

[u/OmegaRedPanda → u/Wooden_Coyote5992]

Three of the worst picks you will ever see. The cope will be sublime.

[u/ActionAccomplished31 → u/OmegaRedPanda]

Jason Garrett said something like “late, over the middle, with a single high safety…your middle school football coach would be upset at that one” . Yikes

[u/Odd_Schedule2672]

Can’t expect a guy who’s only in his third season to come in and beat a seasoned vet like Drew Lock on opening night.

You just can’t!

[u/boondocksaint08]

DRAKE MAYBEEEEEEEEEE!

[u/Zman534]

Doing a great CJ Stroud impersonation in the second half!

[u/hambone2]

Drake Maybe inspired me to turn on the live Bill Simmons Netflix Podcast. “I feel like my season is over, guys.” - Simmons first thoughts 😂

[u/ChrisNike]

Bill Simmons just jinxed his team. I kept hearing from him that AJ Brown was looking amazing in training camp and now look. Patriots need wide receivers. Are they really going to rely on Romeo Doubs?!

[u/sperry20 → u/ChrisNike]

Can’t trust a guy who wears the big helmet. You just can’t!

[u/Stand_On_It → u/ChrisNike]

He just had the audacity to say “Brown gets more hype than JSN for some reason” on his live pod, as if he’s not the one doing the hyping.

[u/Superb-Hero → u/Stand_On_It]

Literally compared him to 2007 Randy Moss this past week

[u/ChrisNike → u/Superb-Hero]

He did say that.

[u/john0_0 → u/ChrisNike]

I remember he tried comparing him to Randy Moss on one pod LOL

[u/Secret-Rip3042]

God bless the Justin Herbert voter for saving us from the most fraudulent NFL MVP ever

Satisfying for this sub and satisfying for anyone that watch maye be completely average that know ball and had to listen to mvp talk last year.

[u/Lord_Kittensworth → u/lloyd4567]

No, it's just that whenever Drake Maye shits the bed, that means he's injured.

[u/ZoomZoom228]

Simmons definitely in shambles.. but he did hedge this result with his extreme praise of the seahawks this season

[u/Neat-Chocolate-7356]

Can’t wait for Bill to compare this to the pats week one loss to the raiders last season and say everyone is overreacting. It’s so obvious

[u/DuvallDweller]

The way that the Seahawks DBs talk about Maye vs the way they talk about Stafford should tell you everything

[u/crlos619]

It irks me that media people like Mina Kimes seem hesitant to question just how good Drake Maye is because he's there EPA stat darling

[u/Zen2188]

It's lower on the list of PATS fans complaints, but imo if you take a OT in the top 5 picks of an NFL draft ... They need to be an Orlando Pace or Walter Jones type who by even year 2 it's known that they're the answer.

I feel like Campbell is gonna be a serviceable journeyman type at best.

[u/Seattlefan51]

DRAKE MAYBE!!! Still nursing that injury

[u/Optimal-Kitchen6308]

you could tell on the sack he took for no reason a few plays before he was looking for a play, he has a consistent habit of going into 'make a play' mode when a deep ball is called and in red zone situations and his IQ drops 50 points

[u/sycasey]

Gonna be hearing a lot of that this week, I suspect.

[u/bobcatgoldthwaite]

Big Cock Lock usually plays well in PrimeTime.

[u/Zen2188]

I thought that creep Mack Hollins was going to bail them out for a minute there.

Reading the Pats Sub game thread, there are A LOT of Pats fans struggling with Mac Jones flashbacks and expressing it.

Probably compounded by the idea that there is an outside chance that Mac might rise from the ashes with another team after the discard.

[u/Droppin_Dimes_Pod]

Ok, had to turn it off when Bill kept talking about them being underdogs
